The required information in a shipping/billing form varies from country to country. Although every shop administrator can customize the forms using an action hook, there should be good default settings from the start.

So there should be a mechanism to make it Locale dependent which fields are shown and required in the user forms.

As an example:
In Germany, the postcode is always stated before the city name, so these two fields must be swapped. Also, the state ("Bundesland" in the translation) is irrelevant both for shipping and billing purposes. So this is one annoying required field for customers in the current US based setup.
